Midnight Sky Handspun Boyfriend Scarf! =)

It`s been quiet on this front lately, but I am keeping busy with spinning. And now I finally have a finished project to show you! *yay*

It is the Midnight Sky Handspun Boyfriend Scarf - knit in supersoft and silky handspun baby alpaca fiber from Upstream Alpacas. I love that fiber! I can`t get enough of that fiber! *lol*

I just C-O 60 sts on a 5 mm circular needle (40 cm long) and knit a tube untill I ran out of yarn. The 2 first and last rows were knit like this: k1, p1 throughout. I had a big ass skein of 530 meters and 229 grams, and the scarf is ca. 216 cm long. My boyfriend loves it so I am very happy! =)











Here is the yarn!

Cigarettes & Violets? =)

Not that I have ever smoked, but I love the song Cigarettes & Violets by Jesse Malin. I can`t seem to find a video that is not a live recording, so the sound is not the best... =)

I had an idea of a shawl with the petals of a flower around the edge, and this is the first try. I am quite happy with it, but I am not a fan of the yarn... Everyone seems to love it, but I just can`t understand why... *lol*

Facts:
Pattern: My design - Cigarettes and Violets Shawlette
Usage: Wollmeise 100% Merino Superwash on 4,5 mm needles.

Ebba - Always In My Head Shawlette =)

I am SO happy with this little cloud of a shawl! =)
I used about 88 grams of my handspun Ebba&Polwarth - 1 thread dogswool from my sweetheart Ebba and 1 thread Polwarth - on 5,5 mm needles. I wanted a softer and more romantic edging on this shawlette, so I made a new edging with a crochet bind off on the Out Of My Head Shawlette. =)

tULLiBaLL var en hyggelig overraskelse! Nydelig, mykt og vakkert! Godt å strikke av, også! =)

And then some... =)

Jeg har kost meg ute i dag - på nye trammen i sola. Og i dag kunne jeg faktisk sitte i bare trøya! *yey*

Her er noe av resultatet - de fleste er på plass i butikken her. Velkommen inn! =)

En nyhet er perler av metall. De er skinnende blanke, små og lette og lyser opp i strikketøyet! Det kommer snart sett i sølvfarget metall, også. =)




Håper solen har varmet dere i dag, også! Ha en fin søndag! =)
